Hi all,

I am currently running my ES Cluster with 2.0.0 Version and am trying to include the Shield plugin.  
The reference on the installation Page always goes to a link ending in shield-latest.zip, which resolves  
to Shield 1.3.2 ...... But I would need Shield (as well as the license plugin) for an OFFLINE install in the 2.0 Versions.

I tried a link like this:  
[https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/license/license-2.0.0-rc1.zip](https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/license/license-2.0.0-rc1.zip)

But this did not work out.

Anyone know the correct link for downloading ?

Kind regards,  
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

Here are the links for RC1:

[https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/shield/2.0.0-rc1/shield-2.0.0-rc1.zip](https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/shield/2.0.0-rc1/shield-2.0.0-rc1.zip)  
[https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/watcher/2.0.0-rc1/watcher-2.0.0-rc1.zip](https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/watcher/2.0.0-rc1/watcher-2.0.0-rc1.zip)

We'll be updating our docs shortly to include links to the correct URLs.

Thanks,  
Steve
